Day 286

This string of on-time updates is so strange and confusing, yet so pleasant.

Picture: Dreary day

Background: Not really much "background" to this picture. I walked out of the Student Center and thought this view looked really cool, so I snapped a few shots. Thank God for post-processing, otherwise this picture would've turned out horribly. Not saying it's amazing, but it's nice.

Not much else to report for today. Trying to get myself to write more, since it's been awhile since I've had a good hour of writing to do. On that subject, this month is NaNoWriMo. I'm thinking about doing that next year, since I'm having fun writing my two stories.

Those two stories might turn into three soon, if I'm not careful. I had a sudden inspiration for yet another story, all thanks to a single song. I'd link to it here, but it's not on youtube. I downloaded it thanks to a video that just happened to have the song in the description, and fell in love with it. It makes me love Post Rock even more.

why 117?

Somewhere around my freshman year in high school, I started seeing this number everywhere I went. I would look at the clock and the time would be either 11:17 or 1:17. I would be customer 117 on a receipt. The date would be 1/17, and I wouldn't realize it until I put it on paper. I found out after the fact that the Halo Spartan is number 117. I even found myself having $117 in my wallet once on pure accident.*

So instead of becoming frustrated at it for much longer, I've dedicated this little portion of the internet to it. Now and again you'll see pictures of the number 117 in various places. I took a picture of $1.17 in change. My dorm room last year was 117 (no joke), so I took a picture of the room indicator. Things like that, you know?

*i don't ever carry around this much money, so don't bother robbing me. I don't think I even have $117 right now, anyway
